Much fuss has been made, and justifiably so, about Tom Cruise’s latest death-defying stunt in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. The risky aerial jape finds Cruise clinging for dear life to the side of a cargo plane hundreds of feet in the air for real. It’s a ballsy stunt which could have gone wrong in so many ways, leading to …

It’s a well established fact that Tom Cruise is a loon (and no, that’s not a dig at scientology). The 50-year old actor has repeatedly shown that when it comes to stunts in his movies, he will do practically anything himself, no matter how dangerous. Case in point: For Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, he is actually hanging on the …

We’re on a hiiiiiiiiiighwaaaaaay tooooo theeeeee… sequel zone! And damn, this road has been a long one.

Apparently I’m an even bigger idiot …

Tom Cruise is crazy. We all know this. There is a partially destroyed couch standing around on an abandoned Oprah set that attests to this. More relevantly though, he is infamous for sending insurance companies’ blood pressures through the roof as he insists on doing all his own insane stunts in his movies. In Mission: Impossible II, that was really …

I was already pretty psyched for the new Mission: Impossible movie – subtitled Rogue Nation – after seeing that incredible first trailer and that jaw-dropping aerial stunt that sees Tom Cruise clinging onto a gigantic cargo plane for dear life thousands of feet in the air. Apparently though, Cruise and writer/director Chris McQuarrie thought that my hype levels were still …

Jack Reacher was an entertaining action movie (we reviewed it, and liked it) that was intended from the start to launch a new action franchise with star Tom Cruise, but it took Paramount a while to green light a sequel when it didn’t quite meet their lofty box-office expectations early on. However it’s on and it’s called Jack Reacher: Never …
